The Samut Sakhon fishing industry is facing financial pressure due to a 6.5 baht per litre increase in the price of ‘green oil’, leading many fishermen to dock their boats. The rising costs are straining fishing fleets and prompting calls for government intervention. Alternative fuel options are limited, and the industry’s future looks bleak without direct government support. In a separate incident, a Chiang Mai rescue foundation is urging petrol stations to lift a 500 baht daily fuel cap for ambulances to avoid delays in reaching patients.
